PLSSS HELP PANICKING The sum of Alex and John's money is $48. Alex has $3 more than twice the amount John has. How much money do they each have? ​

Step-by-step explanation:

a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem

x+y=48

x=2y+3

since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:

(2y+3)+y=48  -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45  -> y=15

plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x

x+15 =48 --> x=33

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
